2208 is the same as Varget which is better suited for heavier bullets in 223 (or 222), I was getting between 2750 and 2850 with 24-25gr of powder, but the bullet is seated way out.

Most folk tend to go with ADI Benchmark 2 (Hodgon Benchmark) or Hodgon H335 for lighter .22 bullets, but according to the Hodgon website Varget/AR2208 gives good velocity out of 55gr bullets too.

Im starting with 2208 and I'll see how it goes.
